(AnchortownJim) Alaska Series 220TDS Dinghy in Hummer Bay PWS, 7/24/04

(AnchortownJim) At anchor in Hummer Bay PWS, 7/24/04

My dinghy is one of Jim King's inflatables. A 220TDS in light blue. It is 7'3" long, 4'5" wide and weighs 40#. It fits beautifully on the cabin roof, comes with oars, an air floor, an easily removable wood seat and an outboard bracket. The coolest thing is Jim King can make you one in any...

Mine is located to the right of the door on the outside of the rear bulkhead, just below the window. Quick access in the middle of the boat if needed. Jim _____________ 22' Cruiser Coho

Count me in! If I had to vote, I'd vote for Naked Island as it is a whole lot closer to me out of Whittier, but if it is Cordova which sounds great, I would like to make that trip too. Either way, lets do it! :D Jim _____________ 22' Cruiser Coho

Mine is located under the splash well between the tanks, on the transom. This will be a good location for me as I am installing a fuel flow meter and the sending unit needs to be downstream from the filter. I intend to mount the sending unit above the starboard tank against the starboard...

To answer your question, yes, the aft cabin wall is cored with balsa and is about a 1/2 in thick. Jim Coho

When I pulled my tanks to install the trim tabs on my 2003 22' cruiser last spring, I too discovered some soft screw holes in the deck under the starboard tank covers and cleats. Several of the screws were loose. There was moisture present in a couple of holes. My solution was to drill out all...

After having the NICAD battery repeatedly not kept my NICRO Day/Night 2000 solar vent running during the night, I replaced the NICAD with a standard "C" cell battery. To my surprise and delight, the standard dry cell "C" battery has kept my vent running for over two weeks and counting! And...

I mounted my Day/Night 2000 solar vent in the middle of my Bomar hatch. The Lexan is about 1/4 inch thick and I just used a 3.5 inch hole saw, cut half way on one side, then finished cutting the hole from the other side. Glued down the deck plate opening with Marine Goop after lightly sanding...

Yes, the tanks on my 2003 22' Cruiser are bulging just a bit. Have not worried too much about them, but maybe I should. Would love to see any C-Dory Marine person chime in here and give us a definitive word on tanks. If bulging is precursor to tank failure, I really would like to know that...

I think I have come across the problem and solution to the difficult starting situation. Went to my dealer today (Alaska Mining and Diving) and spoke with the lead mechanic. After hearing the problem, he said it sounds like I don't have installed on my boat a check valve between the engine...

I have a 2003 Honda 90 and it does the exact same thing when it is being started after not having been run for a week or two. After it warms up it can be shut down and restarted without any problem or hesitation. It is amazing to me that your engine acts exactly like mine does and it is also...

For good information on sea anchors please go to Para-Techs web site: http://www.seaanchor.com/ Lots of good reading there and I don't have to reproduce it here. There is also a very good web site on sea anchors by W.A. Choppins, a New Zealand company producing sea anchors. Can be easily...

Does anyone have any input on sea anchors? Does anyone carry one and/or needed to use one? I am not a river runner. I explore the remote corners of Alaska and believe a sea anchor could be a valuable piece of safety gear. My web research does not turn up much of a variety of sources for...

Well, you all have convinced me to go with a windless vice just an anchor deck pipe. Guess I'll start looking for the best deal I can find for an Aries Quick 500 windless. It is good to hear that moisture in the cabin from the wet rode being brought on board is not a big issue. I was planning...

As an owner of a new 22' Cruiser, I am faced with the dilemma of which way to go with getting the anchor rode into the below deck locker. I've read all the posts on this site and remain undecided. While a windless would be nice, the extra wiring and battery drain are real deterrents to going...
